Luke 20
1 And it came to passe, that on one of those dayes, as he taught the people in the Temple, and preached the Gospel, the hie Priests and the Scribes came vpon him with the Elders,
Siku moja, Yesu alipokuwa akifundisha watu Hekaluni na kuhubiri habari njema, viongozi wa makuhani, walimu wa sheria, pamoja na wazee wa watu wakamjia.
2 And spake vnto him, saying, Tell vs by what authoritie thou doest these things, or who is hee that hath giuen thee this authoritie?
Wakamuuliza, “Tuambie, unafanya mambo haya kwa mamlaka gani? Ni nani aliyekupa mamlaka haya?”
3 And he answered, and sayde vnto them, I also will aske you one thing: tell me therefore:
Akawajibu, “Nami nitawauliza swali.
4 The baptisme of Iohn, was it from heauen, or of men?
Je, ubatizo wa Yohana ulitoka mbinguni au kwa wanadamu?”
5 And they reasoned within themselues, saying, If we shall say, From heauen, he will say, Why then beleeued ye him not?
Wakahojiana wao kwa wao wakisema, “Kama tukisema, ‘Ulitoka mbinguni,’ atatuuliza, ‘Mbona hamkumwamini?’
6 But if we shall say, Of men, all the people will stone vs: for they be perswaded that Iohn was a Prophet.
Lakini tukisema, ‘Ulitoka kwa wanadamu,’ watu wote watatupiga mawe, kwa sababu wanaamini kwamba Yohana alikuwa nabii.”
7 Therefore they answered, that they could not tell whence it was.
Basi wakajibu, “Hatujui ulikotoka.”
8 Then Iesus sayd vnto them, Neither tell I you, by what authoritie I doe these things.
Yesu akawaambia, “Wala mimi sitawaambia ni kwa mamlaka gani ninatenda mambo haya.”
9 Then began he to speake to ye people this parable, A certaine man planted a vineyarde, and let it forth to husbandmen: and went into a strange countrey, for a great time.
Akaendelea kuwaambia watu mfano huu: “Mtu mmoja alipanda shamba la mizabibu, akalikodisha kwa wakulima fulani, kisha akasafiri kwa muda mrefu.
10 And at the time conuenient he sent a seruant to the husbandmen, that they should giue him of the fruite of the vineyard: but the husbandmen did beate him, and sent him away emptie.
Wakati wa mavuno ulipofika, akamtuma mtumishi wake kwa hao wapangaji ili wampe sehemu ya mavuno ya shamba la mizabibu. Lakini wale wakulima wakampiga, wakamfukuza mikono mitupu.
11 Againe he sent yet another seruant: and they did beate him, and foule entreated him, and sent him away emptie.
Akamtuma mtumishi mwingine, huyo naye wakampiga, wakamfanyia mambo ya aibu na kumfukuza.
12 Moreouer he sent the third, and him they wounded, and cast out.
Bado akamtuma na mwingine wa tatu, huyu pia wakamjeruhi na kumtupa nje ya shamba.
13 Then sayd the Lord of the vineyard, What shall I doe? I will send my beloued sonne: it may be that they will doe reuerence, when they see him.
“Basi yule mwenye shamba la mizabibu akasema, ‘Nifanye nini? Nitamtuma mwanangu mpendwa, huenda yeye watamheshimu.’
14 But when the husbandmen sawe him, they reasoned with themselues, saying, This is the heire: come, let vs kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.
“Lakini wale wapangaji walipomwona, wakasemezana wao kwa wao. Wakasema, ‘Huyu ndiye mrithi. Basi na tumuue ili urithi uwe wetu.’
15 So they cast him out of the vineyarde, and killed him. What shall the Lord of the vineyarde therefore doe vnto them?
Kwa hiyo wakamtupa nje ya shamba la mizabibu, wakamuua.” “Sasa basi yule mwenye shamba la mizabibu atawafanyia nini wapangaji hawa?
16 He will come and destroy these husbandmen, and wil giue out his vineyard to others. But when they heard it, they sayd, God forbid.
Atakuja na kuwaua hao wapangaji, na kuwapa wapangaji wengine hilo shamba la mizabibu.” Watu waliposikia hayo wakasema, “Mungu apishie mbali jambo hili lisitokee!”
17 And he beheld them, and said, What meaneth this then that is written, The stone that the builders refused, that is made the head of the corner?
Lakini Yesu akawakazia macho, akasema, “Basi ni nini maana ya yale yaliyoandikwa: “‘Jiwe walilolikataa waashi, limekuwa jiwe kuu la pembeni’?
18 Whosoeuer shall fall vpon that stone, shall be broken: and on whomsoeuer it shall fall, it will grinde him to pouder.
Kila mtu aangukaye juu ya jiwe hilo atavunjika vipande vipande, lakini yule litakayemwangukia atasagwa kabisa.”
19 Then the hie Priests, and the Scribes the same houre went about to lay hands on him: (but they feared the people) for they perceiued that he had spoken this parable against them.
Walimu wa sheria na viongozi wa makuhani wakatafuta njia ya kumkamata mara moja, kwa sababu walifahamu kwamba amesema mfano huo kwa ajili yao. Lakini waliwaogopa watu.
20 And they watched him, and sent forth spies, which should faine themselues iust men, to take him in his talke, and to deliuer him vnto the power and authoritie of the gouernour.
Kwa hiyo wakawa wanamchunguza na kutuma wapelelezi waliojifanya kuwa wenye haki ili wapate kumtega kwa maneno asemayo, ili wamtie katika uwezo na mamlaka ya mtawala.
21 And they asked him, saying, Master, we know that thou sayest, and teachest right, neither doest thou accept mans person, but teachest the way of God truely.
Hivyo wale wapelelezi wakamuuliza, “Mwalimu, tunajua unasema na kufundisha yaliyo kweli wala humpendelei mtu, bali wafundisha njia ya Mungu katika kweli.
22 Is it lawfull for vs to giue Cesar tribute or no?
Je, ni halali sisi kulipa kodi kwa Kaisari, au la?”
23 But he perceiued their craftines, and sayd vnto them, Why tempt ye me?
Lakini Yesu akatambua hila yao, kwa hiyo akawaambia,
24 Shew me a penie. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered, and sayd, Cesars.
“Nionyesheni dinari. Je, sura hii na maandishi haya yaliyoko juu yake ni vya nani?”
25 Then he sayd vnto them, Giue then vnto Cesar the things which are Cesars, and to God those which are Gods.
Wakamjibu, “Ni vya Kaisari.” Akawaambia, “Basi mpeni Kaisari kilicho cha Kaisari, naye Mungu mpeni kilicho cha Mungu.”
26 And they could not reproue his saying before the people: but they marueiled at his answere, and helde their peace.
Wakashindwa kumkamata kwa yale aliyokuwa amesema hadharani. Nao wakashangazwa mno na majibu yake, wakanyamaza kimya.
27 Then came to him certaine of the Sadduces (which denie that there is any resurrection) and they asked him,
Baadhi ya Masadukayo, wale wasemao kwamba hakuna ufufuo wa wafu, wakamjia Yesu na kumuuliza,
28 Saying, Master, Moses wrote vnto vs, If any mans brother die hauing a wife, and hee die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise vp seede vnto his brother.
“Mwalimu, Mose alituandikia kwamba kama ndugu wa mtu akifa na kumwacha mkewe bila mtoto, basi huyo mtu inampasa amwoe huyo mjane ili amzalie ndugu yake watoto.
29 Now there were seuen brethren, and the first tooke a wife, and he dyed without children.
Basi palikuwepo ndugu saba. Yule wa kwanza akaoa, akafa bila kuzaa mtoto.
30 And the second tooke the wife, and he dyed childelesse.
Kisha yule wa pili akamwoa huyo mjane, naye akafa bila mtoto,
31 Then the third tooke her: and so likewise the seuen dyed, and left no children.
naye wa tatu pia akamwoa. Vivyo hivyo ndugu wote saba wakawa wamemwoa huyo mwanamke, na wote wakafa pasipo yeyote kupata mtoto.
32 And last of all the woman dyed also.
Mwishowe, yule mwanamke naye akafa.
33 Therefore at the resurrection, whose wife of them shall she be? for seuen had her to wife.
Sasa basi, siku ya ufufuo huyo mwanamke atakuwa mke wa nani, maana aliolewa na ndugu wote saba?”
34 Then Iesus answered, and sayd vnto them, The children of this world marry wiues, and are married. (aiōn g165)
Yesu akawajibu, “Katika maisha haya watu huoa na kuolewa. (aiōn g165)
35 But they which shalbe counted worthy to enioy that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry wiues, neither are married. (aiōn g165)
Lakini wale ambao wamehesabiwa kwamba wanastahili kupata nafasi katika ulimwengu ule na katika ufufuo wa wafu, hawaoi wala hawaolewi. (aiōn g165)
36 For they can die no more, forasmuch as they are equall vnto the Angels, and are the sonnes of God, since they are the children of the resurrection.
Hawa hawawezi kufa tena, kwa maana wao ni kama malaika. Wao ni watoto wa Mungu, kwa sababu ni watoto wa ufufuo.
37 And that the dead shall rise againe, euen Moses shewed it besides the bush, when he said, The Lord is the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Iacob.
Hata Mose alidhihirisha kuwa wafu wanafufuka, kwa habari ya kile kichaka kilichokuwa kikiwaka moto bila kuteketea, alipomwita Bwana, ‘Mungu wa Abrahamu, Mungu wa Isaki, na Mungu wa Yakobo.’
38 For he is not the God of the dead, but of them which liue: for all liue vnto him.
Yeye si Mungu wa wafu, bali wa walio hai, kwa kuwa kwake wote ni hai.”
39 Then certaine of the Scribes answered, and sayd, Master, thou hast well sayd.
Baadhi ya walimu wa sheria wakasema, “Mwalimu, umesema sawasawa kabisa!”
40 And after that, durst they not aske him any thing at all.
Baada ya hayo hakuna mtu aliyethubutu kumuuliza maswali tena.
41 Then sayd he vnto them, Howe say they that Christ is Dauids sonne?
Kisha Yesu akawaambia, “Imekuwaje basi wao husema Kristoni Mwana wa Daudi?
42 And Dauid himselfe sayth in the booke of the Psalmes, The Lord sayd vnto my Lord, Sit at my right hand,
Daudi mwenyewe anasema katika Kitabu cha Zaburi: “‘Bwana alimwambia Bwana wangu: “Keti mkono wangu wa kuume,
43 Till I shall make thine enemies thy footestoole.
hadi nitakapowaweka adui zako chini ya miguu yako.”’
44 Seeing Dauid called him Lord, howe is he then his sonne?
Ikiwa Daudi anamwita yeye ‘Bwana,’ basi atakuwaje mwanawe?”
45 Then in the audience of all the people he sayd vnto his disciples,
Wakati watu wote walikuwa wanamsikiliza, Yesu akawaambia wanafunzi wake,
46 Beware of the Scribes, which willingly go in long robes, and loue salutations in the markets, and the highest seates in the assemblies, and the chiefe roomes at feastes:
“Jihadharini na walimu wa sheria. Wao hupenda kutembea wakiwa wamevaa mavazi marefu, na kusalimiwa kwa heshima masokoni. Hupenda kukaa kwenye viti vya mbele katika masinagogi, na kukaa kwenye nafasi za heshima katika karamu.
47 Which deuoure widowes houses, and in shewe make long prayers: These shall receiue greater damnation.
Wao hula nyumba za wajane, na ili waonekane kuwa wema, wanasali sala ndefu. Watu kama hawa watapata hukumu iliyo kuu sana.”
